Has to be said...
My dad does this, because he wants to add his own milk.

Or
when people ask for a 'coffee with milk' and then kick off if it isn't a latte or a cappuccino. Dumb.

The problem is...
... if you ask for a white coffee, you get it with the milk steamed, which is just manky.

I asked for a white coffee once in New York
and the guy serving me swore and threatened to throw me out for being a racist because I didn't say "Coffee with milk".

Yes, really.

My sister had to come over and sort it out.
I was incredibly tempted to just fake some racist reply at the tit afterwards, since he was already heaping the opprobium on me.

I get the reverse with tea
"Strong, with plenty of milk" seems to baffle anyone who doesn't grasp the concept that tea strength is determined by the tea/teabag, not the milk.

opprobrium
I only point this out because if you are going to use cool words you should spell them good.
